Ottawa Design Club #7

The Ottawa Design Club Zine is an annual publication celebrating creativity, connection, and community. Each year, we launch a call for submissions, inviting diverse voices from Ottawa and beyond to share their art, writing, and ideas. The work featured is thoughtfully curated to reflect a theme that resonates with the community—topics we feel deserve exploration and dialogue. More than just a collection of creative work, the zine is an experience.

Zine 7: Building Bridges dives into the power of connection. In a world often defined by divides, this issue explores how we link personal and cultural identities, merge artistic disciplines, and navigate the spaces between us. Across 228 pages, contributors explore themes like self-discovery, community, and transformation, from repurposed materials turned into art to reimagined cultural narratives.
